landslide - remedial work/preventive work

[georam]

Anyone having some experience on how to remediate an area, which has shown some sloughing/landslide. Currently, the landslide has not yet extended to close a road. Any vurrent trends or techniques on how to reduce/relieve stresses causing the landslide ?<br>
Water table is high at the crest of the slopes, indicating that it may be a problem. What is the fastest way to drain the water ? How to seal existing cracks so that it will not further causing progressive failures ?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

One thing that we have used successfully is horizontal drains.

drainage is certainly the solution, we often use diaphragm wall techniques with adequate filling material in france to solve this kind of problem ( cut areas in highway projects for example ). This is known as &quot; paroi drainante &quot; in France.
In complement you have to install a pumping system or some horizontal drains.
A network of horizontal drains will work.
Ideal solution will depend on site topography .
